   Summary

   Hob Gadling is a broken man.

   He’s been a broken man since the head of an up-and-coming mob family murdered his wife in cold blood and left him for dead. For the last five years, he’s been away from the city, training and planning to bring that man’s empire down piece by piece. Hoping to do whatever it takes to allow his wife to finally rest in peace.

   But when he meets a shy, sweet, and fascinating man at the local pub, he begins to re-evaluate his thirst for vengeance.

   Maybe he can go back to who he used to be.

   Maybe he can allow love back into his life.

   Maybe he can find a way to be whole again.

   Or die trying.
